Problems with being places on time

One of the hardest aspects of IBS to deal with is always feeling bad when I have to be somewhere. This stress induced “oh-my-god-i-have-to-be-somewhere-right-on-time” bowel issues always seem to rear it’s ugly head when I have an appointment. Even where there is no logical reason to be stressed. For example, today. I have to be somewhere in two hours. It’s a new doctor’s office that I have never been too. Usually I stress about getting somewhere but I know right where it is. So I don’t really feel stressed. Perhaps my subconscious is terrified about the bathroom set up. But that’s foolish says the logical part of my brain. Doctor’s offices always have bathrooms. But, it doesn’t matter.  For the last hour my intestines have been going haywire.  And, if today is anything like past issues, I will be in the bathroom until I have just barely enough time to get where I want to go. Luckily I am already showered, but still, I do not expect the next hour and a half to be pleasant.  *sigh*  Isn’t life wonderful???
